If I ever tear my achilles, I'm going to scream and yell curse words no mother should hear.

My Chiropractor been using this technique for my achilles pain for 2 times a week for over 1 month now. I see some improve me on achilles, but I still have pain.

I don't know if the technique really improve me or it was me healing over time.
